Dinner



We came to dinner and no body was there. (Kim)

The dinner was great but no body was there. The waitress was present but seemed as if she was not there. The street was deserted. The only things that seemed to be present were the street lamps. No one was there. (Zora)

Hanging Illusions



He didn't
notice
his illusions hanging behind
himself. He thought he was alone.

attacked here



Remember my pinky attack-
ed by the WASP, thinking it was
a weapon of bug destruction.
Now it itches & itches. Yikes!
My Palm is back & I can't
create. I just want to scratch.

Political Monkey Mind



Realists
insist that
eyes should be
in the middle.

Don't flip-flop.

Keep it
the way it
is!
A good motto?

(Keep Mouth Shut!)



Having just recovered
from a wasp attack, a
bumble bee threatened to
enter my mouth at an
outside cafe. I threatened
to make it the subject of
this picture and it flew away.

Q: Which book should I get?


Q: Which book should I get?
A: The one that tells the truth.

I used to write a poem . . .

I used to write a poem,
everyday.
I'd get up early
and look out at an oak tree
that wouldn't
give up its leaves.

The tree was waiting for spring,
like a woman hanging
onto a boyfriend or husband
until a better catch
came along.

Each day these leaves
would say something to me.
Each day, that is,
until I took a poetry
workshop with a famous poet.

I discovered that
cliches should not be
used, and each line
should end in an . . .
important word,
and (for G_d's sake)
certain subject matter,
like leaves, are passé.

I stopped writing poems,
right then, thinking that
there was only one
way to do it, and if
I wasn't obeying
the rules, I might
as well draw pictures . . .

Reflections on Talks on Buddha's Lists

During a recent Appamada Intensive our students gave talks on Buddha's lists. Here are my reflections on their talks.
